PSP cut-resistant work gloves

PSP cut-resistant work gloves are designed for tasks involving sharp edges or parts. Alongside the required cut protection level, fingertip sensitivity, grip and, where relevant, impact protection matter. Cut resistance does not mean a glove is impenetrable.

Handling sharp parts with tactile sensitivity

The PSP 15-600 Cut 5 PU Grey 13GG combines a 13-gauge knitted liner with PU on the palm and fingers. The product information highlights fingertip sensitivity. This suits assembly or handling smaller parts where cut protection is needed. The current product information lists cut level D to ISO 13997. The protection required must be determined by the workplace risk assessment.

Sharp edges and impact risks

The PSP 15-590 Cut D PRO Impact Nitrile combines a nitrile foam coating with plastic TPR guards on the knuckles and fingertips. The current product information lists cut level D to ISO 13997. The coating is designed for grip, including on oily or wet parts. The guards add a different function from the cut resistance of the knitted liner. This difference matters when your hands may also knock against components while working near sharp edges.

Which cut class corresponds to Cut 5?

Cut 5 from the Coupe test cannot be converted directly into an A–F letter class from the ISO 13997 test. According to the manufacturer's catalogue, the PSP 15-600 has cut class D (4X42D). Look at the letter class for the specific model, not just Cut 5 in its product name.

Buying PSP cut-resistant work gloves

For grip and tactile sensitivity during everyday work, there are also PSP all-round work gloves. For cold conditions, take a look at PSP winter work gloves. However, a warm lining or thick leather palm does not establish a particular cut protection level. When buying cut-resistant PSP gloves, consider the required protection, contact area and freedom of movement together.

Frequently asked questions about PSP cut-resistant work gloves

How do I identify cut-resistant PSP work gloves?

By the product marking and test data, not just the colour, thickness or name. EN 388 and the corresponding cut test result provide the relevant information. A letter from A to F refers to ISO 13997, while the older test uses a number.

Is Cut 5 the same as cut level E?

No. Cut 5 and letter classes A–F come from different cut tests and cannot be converted directly. According to the manufacturer's catalogue, the PSP 15-600 with Cut 5 in its product name has cut class D, not E.

Does every cut-resistant PSP glove also have impact protection?

No. The 15-590 has separate plastic TPR guards. These are not the same as a cut-resistant knitted liner and are not fitted to every cut-resistant model.
